"Hello Mr. Amundson. My original background is in martial arts, teaching Taekwondo and Kickboxing. Since I've discovered CrossFit I've never been in better shape in my life. I've never felt better, never been faster, never lifted more, or more importantly to me, never been mentally stronger than I am now. When I began training, simply attempting the WODs was satisfying enough at first. Then setting goals helped keep me motivated (double body weight deadlift, improved Fran, linking muscle-ups). But now I'm consistently motivated to just be a better me thanks to your mental reworkings! I recently watched your lecture on leadership and mental workouts at the CrossFit One facility at Reebok HQ and it was the most eye opening, light bulb moment I've had in CrossFit to date. Equal to any PR! I've literally set free my anxiety over certain WODs or techniques. Your energy and enthusiasm is palpable through the screen and your examples and metaphors are inspiring! I hope you're breathing fire for years more and someday I can thank you in person."

Today is Three Station Rotation for the Wendler Strength Series. We’ll be rotating through the Deadlift, Bench Press and Weighted Pull-up. Extra credit skill development is the parallel bar pass through.

Special thanks to our good friend Gary Irving for creating this awesome image of Greg Amundson, Jenna Langseth, and CrossFit Amundson, during a recent photo shoot at our gym. Gary’s one of the most talented photographers and artists in the world. His work is about to take off, and we feel very fortunate to be included in his portfolio. Thank you Gary!
